By Peter Akpah jos

Press briefing by Dr Sumaye F Hamza, special assistant to the governor on (SIP) on the social investment programme (SIP) on the plateau in her word Dr Hamza started by congratulating all for a very peaceful election and inauguration of our new leaders both at the Federal and State , she equally appreciate their institutional partners and the press who have been our critical stakeholders for the publicity provided on the implementation of the Social Investment Programmes in Plateau State. It has become obligatory to let the citizens of Plateau State and beyond to know the impact of the Social Investment Programme in the last four years; that is the first tenure of this administration.

The principal Officer, members of the press, ladies and gentlemen let me remind us of the journey of SIP. The intervention was flagged-off in 2016 by President, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, and is being implemented in Plateau State with the tremendous support of the Governor and Chairman Northern Governors; Forum, Rt. Hon. Barr Simon Bako Lalong. she said her role is to coordinate all the components to ensure maximum benefit and quality service to our people.

The components of SIP are:
Job Creation -NPower
National Home Grown School Feeding- NHGSF
Conditional Cash Transfer – CCT
Government Enterprise Empowerment Programme- GEEP
Government is committed to ensure that citizens of Nigeria are supported to boost their economic status and subsequently get out of poverty. Therefore, the Social Investment Programme seeks to achieve a number of objectives some of which include:
Boost productivity, especially amongst the marginalized and the vulnerable, including women
Stimulate economic activities in unreached areas
To help create sustainable jobs
Improve livelihood
enhance financial inclusion
ultimately poverty reduction
On Job Creation:
Plateau State has over 11,000 Npower graduate beneficiaries in the components of NTeach, NHealth and NAgro, in the first and second batches. From inception, over N8.941 Billion has so far been injected into the state circulating in the hands of these young graduates under Npower in Plateau State. A very credible exit plan is on cause knowing that the intervention is not a permanent employment.
We have the skill acquisition component called Npower Build where skills are provided as well as start-up tools and monthly stipends to over 900 youths. I am happy to announce that 90 Npower software beneficiaries are currently undergoing training in Abuja. We are also benefiting from the Npower Junior.
National Home Grown School Feeding- NHGSF: Presently we have 3304 well kitted cooks providing nourished meal [developed through a Multi-Sectoral Approach] to 220,865 pupils in public primary schools in Plateau State. In a month, N215, 564,240 is used to feed these pupils in the state under the National Home Grown School Feeding. Eating utensil comprising of plates and spoons were provided to every pupil under the NHGSF.
Conditional Cash Transfer – CCT: Similarly, we have over 11,000 poor and vulnerable House-Holds in six LGAs, namely Jos East, Bassa, Bokkos, Kanke, Langtang North and Wase, that are receiving N5,000 monthly under the Conditional Cash Transfer. Over Two Billion Naira has so far being injected into the economy of the state through these Poor and Vulnerable House-Holds in the six LGAs. The selection of LGAs and beneficiaries was done using a globally accepted methodology of high integrity.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are benefiting from additional components under the CCT called, Co-Responsibility where almost 4000 lactating mothers, pregnant women and households with zero to five years children who attend antenatal and receive immunisation with evidence are receiving additional N5, 000.00 monthly. This has tremendously improved the wellbeing of members of the House-Hold. It will enhance number of pregnant women who attend antenatal clinics and subsequently deliver in Health Care facilities thus reducing maternal and infant mortality/complications.
Pleased to inform the meeting that we are currently working in the remaining eleven LGAs where over 80,000 poor and vulnerable House-Holds have been enumerated and enrolment has commenced. Once they are enrolled and data synchronised, they will begin to receive the monthly stipends of N5, 000.
Government Enterprise Empowerment Programme- GEEP: There is the interest free loan domiciled in the Bank of Industry where we equally have beneficiaries in Plateau State. Total of 31,929 have received the loan under trader-moni. The amount disbursed is N319, 300,000. Similarly, 6,126 received the loan under market-moni. Total sum of N306,300,000 have been disbursed under the market-moni in Plateau State.
The Social Investment Programme has tremendously improved the economic status of citizens, provided jobs, improved agricultural activities, has made our young graduates to think outside the box, and has enhanced financial inclusion. Therefore, to enhance expansion and sustainability, it is important to domesticate the National Social Protection Policy in the state.
Finally, I encourage our critical partners, the media to collaborate with the SIP office so that we publicise the available interventions at the appropriate time and also publicise success stories for citizens to know. We need to collaborate by all and sundry in the area of monitoring to ensure effective service delivery to beneficiaries. Monitoring is a collective responsibility. We wish to once again appreciate Government for this laudable initiative and request for additional impactful activities. We are grateful to Government for the opportunity to serve in our various capacities.
Dr Hamza presented her reports to plateau state government through the SGS prof Danladi A Atu, in reaction prof Atu said they are delighted and happy with the performance he stressed that the rescue administration of governor Lalong with the 3 pilar policies which is security infrastructural development and good governance is in line with SIP, creating jobs opportunity and enrolling children back to school with the school feeding programme, it also boast the agricultural sectors, and he also pledge more support for the programme.

Hon Ezekiel Vulgap the ALGON chairman who was also presented with the reports in an interview with journalist also acknowledge the programme and commended the focal person Dr Sumaye over the coordination of the programme, he said the SIP has boast the agricultural section and the school feeding programme also has reduced the numbers of children that are out of school and more children have enrolled back to school and more so the children are been fed with the food produce here in plateau and that makes it unique, he also called on the school feeding programme should go down to the grassroots where you find children who cannot feed and are really in need, he however commended them and also urge them to monitor the programme to ensure that the targeted individuals are the beneficiaries.

ADP shocked over the undemocratic posture of Lalong

Peter Akpah

Press Statement

From the ADP, PLATEAU STATE

10th October 2019

Our great party the Action Democratic Party in Plateau state is shocked over the undemocratic posture of the Plateau state government in the appointment of another set of management committee chairmen for Riyom , Barkin-Ladi, Jos North and South LGAs in spite of the massive public outcry for a democratic elections to take place in these LGAs.
By this appointment which was hurriedly stage managed and using the state House of Assembly in endorsing it is undemocratic and a clear gesture in rubbishing our hard earned democracy.
ADP in the state which has completed arrangements in slogging it out with all the political powers that be in the state and was expecting nothing but absolute victory at the poll has now been taking aback.
The ADP in Plateau state is calling on the APC government to retrieve from all such steps of murdering our hard earned fight for true democracy and respect the rule of law.
We wished as citizens of this state that a free and fear elections would have been conducted and whoever emerged as winner be given his or her mandate.
We as a party are wondering what could be attributed as reasons for this action as any right thinking citizen in the state knows that peace have returned to these LGAs.
Finally as the number one citizen of the State we’re calling on the governor to as a matter of urgency uphold the rule of law as sworn in while taking the mantle of leadership.
We however appeal to all our members in the state to remain calm and go about their day to day activities as the party was doing everything possible to bring the government to book and to also defend our democracy.
God bless Plateau state
God bless Nigeria

Finally we are calling on the governor of the State Simon Bako Lalong to fulfilled his promises of all inclusive government to take the state to greater high .

Long live Plateau state!
Long live ADP!!
Long live Federal Republic of Nigeria!!!

FOMWAN call for the provision of quality education to all especially Girls and Women.

Peter Akpah


FEDERATION OF MUSLIM WOMEN’S ASSOCIATIONS
IN NIGERIA

FOMWAN call for the provision of quality education to all especially Girls and Women, the association made this call through a press statement by some of her member, Hajiya Halima Jibril FOMWAN national Amirah, and Dr Sumaye Fadimatu Hamza FOMWAN national PRO to call on women to raise up for this call to reduce the numbers of the girl child that are out of school.

The Federation of Muslim Women’s Associations in Nigeria [FOMWAN] acknowledges the fact that out of the 13.2 million children that are out of school in Nigeria, 7.93 million are girls. This disturbing figure represents 6.67% of Nigeria’s population. Hence one of the cardinal objectives of FOMWAN is provision of quality education to all especially Girls and Women. Furthermore, FOMWAN advocates for the education of the Girl-Child which is fundamental in fighting poverty, ignorance and diseases in the states and the nation,

FOMWAN is mindful of the fact that the international Day of the Girl Child is celebrated annually to persuade for political will, allocation of sufficient resources to education and increase awareness among citizens on the existing inequalities facing the Girl Child especially in the area of education, legal rights, and protection among others.

The 2019 theme tagged “GirlForce: Unscripted and Unstoppable” is apt and is directed towards Empowering Girls for a Brighter Tomorrow.
FOMWAN nationwide joins the world to mark the day with series of activities which include, placing banners at strategic locations that pass the messages of ensuring quality education to all especially the Girl Child as well as advocating for provision of safe educational environment for children generally and particularly the Girl Child through appropriate messages to stakeholders. All state branches of FOMWAN shall carry out awareness rallies and lectures along with Government, religious and community leaders, NAWOJ, youths and parents so that collaboratively and persuasively a lot can be achieved. FOMWAN is also participating in One Million Girls’ March for “Free and Compulsory Quality Education and increase livelihood for all girls’ in collaboration with UNICEF, Sultan Foundation for Development, World Bank and UBEC. These activities will enhance enrolment, retention and completion of education of children especially the Girl-Child.
FOMWAN therefore uses this medium

to call for proactive approach by

Government and Non-Governmental Institutions to the aspect of Teacher Education which is the bedrock of quality education for all.

According to Mr. Paul within the short period of assumption of office as a federal law maker, Gagdi has changed the political narratives in his consituency.

Mr Paul described Hon Gagdi as a “Messiah” to his constituents, stressed that “with the advent of Hon Gagdi, the usual religious, tribalism ethnicity and political bigotries has varnished in the constituency.”

“His (Hon Gagdi) bills and motions he sponsored on the floor of the house of representatives are clearly defining our present day Nigeria.”

He urge the Lawmaker to work towards unity of Plateau citizens.

“The political climate on the Plateau has been tense for quite sometime especially in Panshin, Kanke and Kanam federal consituency where religious and tribes were major players of bigotory untill when Rt. Hon Gagdi arrived and changed the political narrative where emphasis is now placed only on human qualitative leadership, accountability and transparency.”

Secretary YPAF expressed optimism that the former deputy speaker of the Plateau state house assembly, during the 8th assembly, with his experience, the Lawmaker will perform better than his counterparts across Nigeria.

He therefore tasked the national assembly member, Hon Gagdi to be a detribalized Nigerian.

“Nigerian legislature represents an estimated figure of 180 million Nigerians ethnic nationalisties and two most dominance religions which have over the years taking the center stage of our political arena in Nigeria.”

According to him, the Plateau Lawmaker has been advocate better laws that will help in assist greatly in building the nation beyond a mere geopolitical zone but the nation as a whole.

Mr. Paul urged other federal law makers to emulate Gagdi in making Nigeria great where religion, tribes and political differences will not form the basis.

He call on other PKK constituent’s to support Hon Gagdi “people who lost hope and confidence in government long term before now shoud support him, irrespective of Political party.”
